OFTP2 inbound password

By yuri69 on Tue, 11/24/2020 - 14:06

Hello,
where can I set the server's password for inbound OFTP2 connections? I couldn't find where to set it for the server side.

The only relevant mention I found was: https://www.openhub.net/p/mendelson_oftp2/rss_articles?page=4

I know the password is meaningless in OFTP2 scope but still. Does the Mendelson OFTP2 server really accept

  • ANY

    • password in inbound connections?

    Thanks in advance

    yuri69,

    I would this not call "password". Length is 8 characters max, upper case only, no special characters allowed. This is no security. Because of this the mendelson OFTP2 accepts any inbound password. This delivers the same security level in our opinion.

    Regards

    Thank you for the confirmation.

    Still, I find this a bit confusing since this feature is not mentioned in documentation and common OFTP2 SW does validate the password.
